Active Mom: Your Guide to Feeling Strong and Confident in Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond

By Ashley Reid

An invaluable guide for moms who want to feel strong and stay active through all stages of pregnancy and motherhood.

Moms are told to stay active but often left to figure out how on their own. With conflicting advice and few resources designed for the realities of motherhood, exercise can feel confusing, intimidating, or overwhelming-but it doesn't have to be that way.

In Active Mom, exercise physiologist, award-winning pre/postnatal wellness practitioner, and mom Ashley Reid provides a clear, customizable path to improved strength, energy, and confidence. Whether preparing for labor, navigating postpartum healing, or trying to make time for movement in a busy day, this book offers practical tools, encouragement, and expert guidance every step of the way. Rooted in the Core, Function, and Fitness(R) method, Reid helps readers rebuild core strength and function, move with confidence through the physical demands of everyday life, and create flexible fitness plans that reflect their recovery, energy, and available time.

Featuring self-assessments, easy-to-follow training charts, and QR-linked videos, Active Mom offers the support moms need to reach their personal fitness goals. Empowering, adaptable, and grounded by science, this is the resource every mom deserves.
